Joy Division - Love Wil tear us apart
by Reafx, 2005.
After fiddeling around with my newly tuned 12-string (I hate tuning it!), I came up with
this playable tabs structure to this classic Joy Division track. The rhythm is 2/4 (I
think) so play it freely. This version also includes some of the great bass riffs, when
playing the guitar. Sounds best when played on a 12-string guitar,
though.
Tuning of guitar:
Lower both your E strings to D, this way

(Guitar start) 1.When routine bites hard and am- bitions are low
2.Why is this bedroom so cold? You turned away on your side
3.You cry out in your sleep All my feelings exposed

1. And resentment rides high But e- motions won't grow
2.Is my timing that flawed? our respect runs so dry
3.And there's a taste in my mouth As despiration takes hold

1.And we're changing our ways Taking different roads
2.Yet there's still this appealThat we've kept through our lives
3.Yet, that somehing's so good Just can't function no more, when
